Alfvén eigenmode (AE) instabilities driven by α-particles have been observed in D-3He fusion experiments on the Joint European Torus (JET) with the ITER-like wall [Kiptily et al, submitted to Phys. Rev. Letters, 2020]. The impact of these type instabilities on a burning plasma is of crucial relevance for the perfor…

The experimental observation of multiple oscillations likely associated with beta-induced Alfven eigenmodes with toroidal mode number n = 1, 2 during strong tearing activity in JET plasmas is reported in this work. It is found the frequencies of these oscillations range from 5 kHz to 20 kHz, being consistent with the low-frequency beta-induc…

JET has investigated one the key issues for the baseline scenario in ITER, the integration of a radiative divertor for heat load control with the use of neon and nitrogen as seed impurity. A characterization of the choice of the impurity seed on plasma confinement, neutrons, pedestal MHD stability, pedestal instabilities, core transport is given…

Alfvén eigenmode (AE) instabilities driven by alpha-particles have been observed in D-3He fusion experiments on the Joint European Torus (JET) with the ITER-like wall (ILW). For the efficient generation of fusion alpha-particles from D-3He fusion reaction, the 3‑ion radio frequency (RF) scenario was used t…

The interaction of Alfvén Eigenmodes (AEs) and energetic particles will determine the success of future tokamaks. In JET, eight in-vessel antennas were installed to actively probe stable AEs with frequencies ranging 25 – 250 kHz and toroidal mode numbers abs(n)< 20. During the 2019-2020 deuterium campaign, almost 7500 resonances and …

In this work, we use reduced and perturbative models to examine the stability of TAEs during the ITB afterglow in JET experiments designed for the observation of alpha driven TAEs. We demonstrate that in JET-like conditions, it is sufficient to use an incompressible cold plasma model for the TAE to reproduce the experimental adiabatic features…

Dedicated experiments to generate high-energy D ions and D-3He fusion-born alpha particles have been performed at the Joint European Torus (JET) with the ITER-like wall (ILW). Deuterium ions from neutral beam injection (NBI) with acceleration voltage of 100 keV were accelerated to higher energies in the core of mixed D-3He…
